GEORGETOWN – Join the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust on Friday, July 24th, from 1pm – 3pm, to discover the fascinating, vibrant world of the intertidal zone. This event is great for explorers of all ages and is focused on families.
What creatures will you discover in Reid’s magical pools, and what will you learn about these fascinating species?
Participants will meet KELT staff and Maine Master Naturalists at Griffith’s Head, in the grassy picnic area between the parking lot and wooden roadway bridge. Activities include a tidal pool scavenger hunt and a chance to wade into the pools to find as many different species as we can! Folks will also learn about the invasive European green crab and how it is impacting this tidal habitat and the animals that live there.
The program is offered by KELT and open to the public. Participants will need to pay the state park entrance fee. This is a rain or shine event and registration is strongly encouraged at https://www.kennebecestuary.org/upcoming-events/tidepooling-reid-2026
